salam.okay, this is gonna be a veryyyyy long post to jot down all the 9 awesome days spent in NZ last week. but neva mind, i'll try to just include the main attractions and leave out all the bebelans yg xde kaitan. so, enjoy!8/7/08 (Tuesday)we started our journey by taking the Tiger Airways flight from Adel-Melb around 8.45pm. coz there's no direct flight from Adel-NZ, so kene transit dulu at Melb. that night was really2 funny sbb kitorg sume tido dkt suraw airport. our flight to Christchurch,NZ was due d next morning. so kene la merempat jap. punye la takut n mmg x lena la tdo. siap peluk handbag masuk dlm sleeping bag lagik just in case ade org masuk nk merompak ke. who knows kan? haha.

after dat, headed straight to the famous Puzzling World, located in Wanaka. entered their illusion rooms n mmg cool gle! there were holograms, quizzes n riddles, eye tricks n many more. i felt really amazed by those ppl who were creative n smart enuf to create all those sort of illusions n tricks. :D mmg sgt pndaiiii la!

ptg tu pulak went to Arrowtown, the town of gold. it was a really small town n there was nothin much that can b done here. just snapping a few pix n oso masuk kdai chocs. ngee. i like~~ we bought one different flavour of fudge each n shared amongst ourselves. boley thn sdap gaks. :Dbut it was too sweeeeet! hik. :P

then, went to d steepest street in d world which is Baldwin street. on dat particular time n day, ade Jaffa Cadbury choc festival. so, tersgtlah ramai org kat c2. d festival was about jatuhkan chocs Jaffa down Baldwin street n whoever gets the choc with d serial number needed will win 1000 dollars. i wasnt sure whether there was a winner or not dat day but anyways, chocs bertaburan merata2 atas jln tuh. huhu.

d next stop was Cadbury World. although we din get d chance to view d chocolate making process in d factory, we managed to watch a video on d history of cadbury in NZ, etc. evryone was then given a packet of cadbury chocs for free. ;) the inside of the cadbury world was really fun n interesting tho!

15/7/08 (Tuesday)early in d morning, amid n i went to a supermarket nearby to buy some squid to cook for lunch. gosh, seafood kat dunedin murah gle if nk compare dgn adelaide. *jeles* :Pwe bought 1 kilo of squid n masak sambal. around 11 am, we started our way back toChristchurch again. stopped for a mo' at Moeraki Boulders. d main attraction here were d sphere looking rocks on d beach. d place was undoubtly beautiful btw.

next stop was Timaru where we had our tasty squid lunch. :Dchristchurch was back in sight again around 6.30pm. husen n lutfie went over to arul's place to spend d nite while d girls went bak to auntie rogayah's house. we were suprised to noe dat she cooked nasi tomato for us! thanxxx so much! it was superbly delicious! :D

16/7/08 (Wednesday)we had karipap n fried rice for bfast dat mornin. [d guys were like sooo jealous of us coz we had lotsa delicious foods to eat.ngahaha. :P] we then headed to Cathedral Square. there was an All Blacks festival dat day n if i'm not mistaken, we had actually met a few of d All Blacks players! cooool!

late afternoon we then went to uni of canterbury n oso Cashmere, a place on top of a hill where u can see d whole Christchurch city. the view was bombastic! :D loved it! thanx arul for driving us there! hee.

something happened btw on our way bak from Cashmere i think. there were a group of police officers doing a road block on one of the roads. as we had 9 ppl on board (max passengers shud only b 8 ppl), so we had to like get away from those guys. kalo x, nnt x pasal kene saman. huhu. so, we turned left into another road. but unfortunately, there were a couple of police officers already waiting there also. so, we had no other choice than to stop. luckily, they were only doing an alcohol test on d drivers. huhu. n policeman tu mcm x perasan je kewujudan lebey seorang passenger. but kitorg kene gak la warning coz x pakai seatbelts. naseb x kene saman! huhu.

it was still dark when me and afiq headed to the exam hall this mornin. around 6.50 kot. gile semangat. mane x semangat nye. it was our last paper for this sem! yuhuu~ by 12.30 pm, our sem is officially over! =)

the other housemates (zati & kak bash) n me actually have planned to give her a surprise bday party dat evening. luckily she went out celebrating wif lutfie jap. so we thought sempat la nak ready foods, presents, kemas umah, etc n hoping that everything will go on smoothly. xnak kantoi like last year punye. totally spoilt in many ways! haha. but guess wat, we really faced a lot of problems today n d biggest one was PUTUS BEKALAN AIR!

urgh, tension! around 1 o’clock tetibe je pipe air x mengeluarkan air. adei. without any notice pulak tu! we were really lucky bcoz most of d foods dah siap pagi tu. credit to kak bash n zati who managed to finish d nasi impit, begedil, agar2 n sambal.so, when I got home, I only had to do the soup n choc cheesecake. but then, how can I make d soup without any water? adei. i was so mad that time n end up picking up the broomstick n started to clean up the house. :P

around 4.30 we heard water splashing in the kitchen. kak bash left the tap open so dat we can hear d water when its supplied back. hee. bravo la! =) n bile ade je air, we all headed straight to d kitchen. everythin had to be done fast coz d guests will b arriving around 5.30 -6pm.

owh ya, credit to husen as well for the susu n aluminium foil! hehe. =)

it wasn’t long after dat when afiq came back home. from the way she acted, i think dat she knew nothing bout d party. am i rite, afiq? say yes! hihi. :P
